Roman Abramovich | $13.9 Billion

His first experience in business was when he worked as a street-trader, followed by a stint as a mechanic in a local factory. Since then, Roman Abramovich has become one of the many wealthy figures in the world today, thanks to his impressive net worth of $13.9 billion. Although he is the owner of his very own investment company, Millhouse LLC, Abramovich is often known for his involvement in soccer, being the owner of the Chelsea FC team.

With all the fortune he has earned, it would come as no surprise if Abramovich shared a portion of it with others. In fact, between 1999 and 2013, he donated over $2.5 billion for the building of schools, hospitals, and other infrastructures. Despite the generous act, though, Abramovich still has more than enough to be the world’s most lavish spender on yachts. His currently-owned vessel, the Eclipse, is worth approximately $400 million and even has its own submarine!
